Painted my bottom after we took the entire floor to bare metal, sealed it, then primered it. Painted it with base/clear 3 coats of each

Very nice! I like the blue! Being that my car will be blue I contemplated this, however these come in red so I went that way. I like what you did to the SFC. How much weight did that add? All of that looks like modified umi stuff

Re: Cleanest undercarriage

With that mentality you might as wel never give anything about the appearance of your car. Because you have to wash it everytime you drive it. And step in it with mud and dogshit on your shoes. Because why even care right?

I'm only driving it on sunny days with the T top off. And i'll clean it everytime whenever i feel like it. Its going to be a showcar pretty much, its a full rebuilt. Even the true dual stainless steel exhaust is polished to a mirror shine.



@ W_mcvicker, nice one right there to. Pretty rare shot i suppose.

Thanks man, and yeah, same color code will be on the rest of the car. PPG paint. Car will get as many color coats it needs and 3-4 layers of clear.

Engine bay already is this color.

Wow... awesome pics, but at the same time make me embarrassed by my 27k mile car, which is nowhere near as close to that clean. In fact, I actually have some mild surface rust on some components. Guess I need to get a lift and start scrubbing...
